Fireworks
Range Rover Blues:
I used to like fireworks but as i've got older they have got noisier, they have havn't they?
Well I've got dogs now so I hate the damn noise, I hate having to pick up the emptied from my garden and I hate the fallout that lands on my cars and ruins the paintwork (it's iron filings that make the sparkles, and they are bad for your car).
Minotaur:
AS a Kid/teen me and my mates used to have rocket fights - fired from a large bottle or similiar and armed yourself with a metal dustbin lid for protection - Absolutely crazy and looking back we were all lucky to get away unharmed.
However, the following changed my opinions on clowning about with fireworks - seeing anyone being irresponsible really riles me now. - Read on:
A mate of mine was dressed up one bonfire night when he was a kid at a local display, however a bunch of yobs threw some bangers, catching my friends clothes on fire - he received severe burns to the lower part of his body - an off duty police man saved his life and wedding tackle by smothering the flames with his coat and hands receiving bad burns to his hands, arms and face.
My friend is scarred for life, but very, very lucky to be alive - has had to endure dozens of operations and skin grafts over the years.
MHO:
The right place at the right time and anyone one caught giving or selling them to kids/teenagers should be locked up.
My rant over

Grant:
I love fireworks, have my own display every year
sick of all this ban this that & the other crap... just need to stop the kids getting them
reason it goes on for ages is divali
Mudlark:
It's not that I hate them , I don't I really like them. BUT it's the not knowing when they are going to be set off at this time of year - we've just had a massive display go off here tonight.
I personally feel that fireworks should only be allowed on the 5th or the weekend nearest, and at any other time under licence preceded by a notice of intent.
Ditto for the new year
I reckon that might keep most people happy :wink:
